Adjusting to changing environments
can be exciting but may also be
often stressful. This is particularly true of “big” life
changes and those that are outside of our direct control.
While the opening of the Mission Bay Hospitals has been
an exciting event for many reasons, these changes have
placed new demands on faculty – for those who have
moved to this new setting and who must let go of what
is familiar, but also for those who have been “left behind.”
